PARIVISION Reportedly Planning to Bring HObbit Back

PARIVISION could bring Abay “HObbit” Khasenov back to its Counter-Strike 2 roster ahead of ESL Pro League Season 24. The potential roster change was reported by commentator Roman “Roma_Roo” Korshunov.

According to Roma_Roo, HObbit is expected to replace Vyacheslav “Slaxejezzz” Vinokurov in the active lineup. The move could be completed in time for PARIVISION’s next tournament, ESL Pro League Season 24.

Roma_Roo questioned the potential decision to remove Slaxejezzz only a few months after bringing him into the team. He suggested that either the young player had encountered difficulties adapting to Jame’s system or PARIVISION was moving toward a lineup featuring players with previous connections to Jame and coach dastan.

The commentator also expressed concerns about PARIVISION’s frequent roster changes. In his view, constantly exploring new options and replacing players could negatively affect confidence and stability within the team.

HObbit has already represented PARIVISION as a stand-in. The Kazakh player competed with the roster at XSE Pro League 2026, where the team reached the grand final before losing to 9z Team.

HObbit was later replaced by Evgeniy “FL1T” Lebedev, whom PARIVISION acquired from Virtus.pro.

Slaxejezzz joined PARIVISION in June 2026 and has represented the organization at three tournaments. If the reported roster change goes ahead, it is currently unclear where he could continue his career.
